WHAT YOU’LL NEED TO MAKE YOUR WIPES:
1 cup distilled or filtered water
1/2 cup Vinegar
1/4 cup Rubbing Alcohol
A repurposed quart-sized glass jar with a tight-fitting lid
12 drops lavender essential oil
10 drops lemon essential oil
10 drops tea tree essential oil
Old textiles – I used my old flannel pj’s and a kitchen towel
Pinking sears
PLEASE NOTE:
▸ I do no longer use Castille Soap as it is base and shouldn’t be mixed with any acids such as vinegar or lemon juice. This causes the soap to be “unsaponified” which means that the vinegar reduces the Castille soap back out to its original oils and you will end up with an oily, curdled white mess.
▸ Depending on what textiles you use you might need to adjust the liquid ratio above! As such adjust if needed.
CAUTION! Do NOT use lemon and/or vinegar if you have a granite surface as it can cause etching over time! Here is a link to an all-natural granite spray recipe that I found at the blog Natures Nurture – which you could use as a replacement to the solution used in this video:
